Bring soothing, melodic, all‑weather musical play to your early years environment with the Outdoor Mini Tongue Drum, a beautifully crafted, freestanding instrument designed especially for nursery and EYFS settings. Compact in size but rich in sound, this mini drum invites children to explore rhythm, tone and expression through hands‑on musical discovery. Inspired by traditional slit drums from across Africa, Asia and South America, this instrument opens the door to cross‑curricular learning. Children can explore global musical heritage, engage in imaginative play and experiment with sound as they perform with friends or create their own outdoor concerts. Crafted from hard, dense Sapele timber, the drum produces warm, resonant vibrations when struck, with each “tongue” creating a different tone. The angled design allows several children to play comfortably together, promoting teamwork, communication and shared creative expression. Integrated rain‑drainage features ensure the drum is suitable for all‑weather use, making it a durable and reliable addition to any playground or performance area. Please note: this product has recently been updated and is now made using high‑pressure laminated outdoor plywood for improved sound quality, so appearance may differ from earlier images.
